Did I say they deserve death? I said that they are not particularly sympathetic victims. True crime stories usually focus on the most innocent of victims - most people don't exactly cry over the death of gang members or street prostitutes, people who live recklessly and are hard to relate to. The stories that grab everyone are the ones where the victims were absolute innocents, such as the one I just saw about Helene Pruszynski, a cold case solved 38 years later through genealogical DNA. Helene Pruszynski was the type of person who did everything right, a very impressive young lady, who was raped and murdered by an incredibly evil person. Her case, and those like it, are gripping, because the soul cries out for justice on behalf of the victim, the most innocent of people who did absolutely nothing risky, someone who lived her life right in every way. Doesn't resonate the same way when the victim - or victims, in this case - were reckless individuals acting like worthless people, sitting ducks for the next bum they came across, and there were many of those in their lives, obviously.
